	Karl Richard Lepsius - LoveToKnow 1911
		KARL RICHARD LEPSIUS (1810-1884), German Egyptologist, was born at Naumburg-am-Saale on the 2 3 rd of December 1810, and in 1823 was sent to the "Schulpforta" school near Naumburg, where he came under the influence of Professor Lange.
		In 1866 Lepsius again went to Egypt, and discovered the famous Decree of Tanis or Table of Canopus, an inscription of the same character as the Rosetta Stone, in hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek.
		In spite of his scientific training in philology Lepsius left behind few translations of inscriptions or discussions of the meanings of words: by preference he attacked historical and archaeological problems connected with the ancient texts, the alphabet, the metrology, the names of metals and minerals, the chronology, the royal names.

	Carl (Karl) Richard Lepsius, A Founder of Modern Egyptology
		Karl (Carl) Richard Lepsius (1810-1884) must be considered one of the founding fathers of Egyptology and a giant among the earliest archaeologists.
		Lepsius later explained the importance of this work by noting that, with the exception of the pyramid studies of Richard H. Vyse and John S. Perring, and the minor visits to the area by the French-Tuscan expeditions, his expedition was the first to study and record what was essentially material from the Old Kingdom.
		Lepsius died in 1884 in Berlin, but he published many more works during his later years, and was even the editor of the leading German Egyptology journal, the Zeitschrift fur agyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde.

	Richard Lepsius
		Befriended by Bunsen and Humboldt, Lepsius threw himself with great ardor into Egyptological studies, which, since the death of Jean-François Champollion in 1832, had attracted no scholar of eminence and weight.
		For three years Lepsius and his party explored the whole of the region in which monuments of ancient Egyptian and Ethiopian occupation are found, from the Sudan above Khartoum to the Syrian coast.
		On the other hand one of his latest works, the Nubische Grammatik (1880), is an elaborate grammar of the then little-known Nubian language, preceded by a linguistic sketch of the African continent.

		Though it is often reported that the Great Pyramid of Giza is bereft of any hieroglyphic inscription save for some quarry marks on inside surfaces, and also that the last hieroglyphics in Egypt were inscribed at Philae in AD 394, both of these statements were made somewhat inaccurate in the middle of the 19th century.
		Karl Richard Lepsius, born in 1810 in Naumburg (Saale), Germany, began studying Egyptology after completing his European archaeology doctorate in 1833.
		During the years 1842-1845, Lepsius led an expedition of Prussian scholars to Egypt, Nubia, and Sinai to record monuments and collect antiquities.

	Book of the Dead - Crystalinks
		Book of the Dead is the common name for ancient Egyptian funerary texts known as The Book of Coming [or Going] Forth By Day.
		The name "Book of the Dead" was the invention of the German Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius, who published a selection of some texts in 1842.
		The Books were text initially carved on the exterior of the deceased person's sarcophagus, but was later written on papyrus now known as scrolls and buried inside the sarcophagus with the deceased, presumably so that it would be both portable and close at hand.

		I personally suspect that this is because Lepsius burdened his letters with endless diacritics instead of giving them zany dangling hook-legs, failing the Fun Test.
